Even though we sing Christmas carols year after year, somehow we don’t get tired of them. Whether they want to make us dance around the tree, rock us into a gentle sleep by the fire, or get up and do some air-guiding for the whole family, Christmas carols have the incredible power to connect all the holidays throughout our lives.


Here are some of the best Christmas carol lyrics ever written to get you in the festive spirit.

    While shepherds watched their flocks at night,
    all sat on the ground,
    the angel of the Lord came down
    and glory shone around.

    Silent night, holy night!

  • We Three Kings


    We three kings of the East are;
    with gifts that we cross far,
    field and fountain, heath and mountain,
    next star over there.


    Omission:


    O star of wonder, star of light,
    star with royal beauty bright,
    leading westward, still advancing,
    lead us into your perfect light.

  • The Twelve Days of Christmas


    On the first day of Christmas,
    my true love gave me
    A partridge in a pear tree.

    My true love gave me
    Two turtledoves
    And a partridge in a pear tree.

  • Once in Royal David’s City


    Once in the city of Royal David
    Stood in a simple cattle shed,
    Where a mother laid her baby
    In a manger before His bed:

    Jesus Christ, her little Child.

  • O Holy Night


    O holy night, the stars shine bright,
    It is the night of the birth of the precious Savior;
    Long lay the world languishing in sin and error,
    ‘Til it appeared and the soul felt its worth.
    A tremor of hope that the weary world rejoices in,
    For yonder dawns a new and glorious morning;


    Choir


    Fall on your knees, oh hear the angelic voices!
    O divine night! O night when Christ was born.
    O night, O holy night, O divine night.

  • Good King Wenceslas


    Good King Wenceslas looked out
    On the feast day of Stephen,
    When the snow was around it
    Deep and clear and even;
    That night the moon shone brightly
    Though the frost was cruel,
    When a poor man came into view,
    Gath’ring winter fuel.

  • God be merry, gentlemen


    God rest merry gentlemen
    Don’t let anything discourage you
    For Jesus Christ, our Savior
    Born on Christmas Day
    To save us all from Satan’s power
    When we went astray
    O messages of comfort and joy
    Comfort and joy
    O messages of comfort and joy

  • Carol of the bells


    Listen! how the bells
    Sweet silver bells
    Seems to say it all
    “Throw away worries.”
    Christmas is here
    Bring good courage
    To young and old
    Meek and bold

  • In the gloomy midwinter


    In the gloomy middle of winter
    The icy wind groaned;
    The earth was hard as iron,
    Water like a stone;
    Snow had fallen, snow on snow,
    Snow on snow,
    In the gloomy middle of winter
    Long time ago.

  • Listen! The Herald Angels sing


    Listen! The herald angels sing:
    “Glory to the newborn king!
    Peace on earth and gentle mercy,
    God and sinners are reconciled.”
    Glad all nations rise,
    Join the triumph of the sky,
    Proclaim with the angelic host:
    “Christ was born in Bethlehem.”
    Listen! The herald angels sing:
    “Glory to the newborn king!”

    Lully, lullaby, you little child,
    Goodbye, lullaby, lullaby.
    You little little child,

    This poor youth to whom we sing,
    “Goodbye, lullaby, lullaby?”

  • Oh little town of Bethlehem


    Oh little town of Bethlehem
    How quietly we see you lie
    Above your deep and dreamless sleep
    The silent stars pass by
    Yet shines in your dark streets
    The eternal light
    The hopes and fears of all those years
    Are met in you tonight

    O little town of Bethlehem – Winchester Quiristers








  • Away in a manger


    Away in a manger, no cradle for a bed,
    The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head.
    The stars in the clear sky looked down where he lay,
    The little gentleman Jesus sleeps on the hay.

  • The holly and the ivy


    The holly and the ivy,
    When they are both fully grown
    Of all the trees in the forest
    The holly bears the crown


    Oh, the rising of the sun
    And the running of the deer
    Playing the cheerful organ
    Sweet singing in the choir

    The first Nowell said the angel
    Wash for certain poor shepherds in the fields as they lay;
    As they lie in the fields tending their sheep,
    On a cold winter night it was so deep.

    Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
    The king of Israel is born.

    In dulci jubilo
    Let’s show our tribute:
    The joy of our hearts leans back
    In pre-epio;

    Matris in gremio,
    Alpha E flat and O!
